Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Mahmoud Mohamed Abdalla Mostafa

Visual arts

Mahmoud Mostafa is an Arabic calligrapher and visual artist based in Alexandria, Egypt. Born in 1993, he started practicing Arabic calligraphy at a very young age. After graduating from the Faculty of Engineering and getting a diploma in Arabic calligraphy, he decided to fully devote his life and career to his art.

Today, in addition to his creative work, M. Mostafa is working as a calligraphy instructor. He has won several international prizes in calligraphy and has exhibited in numerous local and international exhibitions, like the Sharjah Calligraphy Biennal in the UAE, in America, Russia, and Germany. 

Through his work, Mahmoud Mostafa aims to open the multi-secular art of calligraphy to modernity and confront tradition and contemporary art. Persuaded that aesthetic emotion can be universally shared, he tries to overcome cultural boundaries to reveal the transcendental beauty of calligraphy.

Lou Motin

Year/s of residence : 2025, 2–12

Visual arts

Lou defines themselves as an urban gleaner, reusing and transforming construction debris and industrial waste to fuel visual narratives that are revealed to the public in the form of sculptures and installations.

 

Sensitive to the challenges of creation in a context of ecological urgency, Lou Motin questions the impact of our production on the environment. By presenting pieces that appear to have been extracted from a distant future, they invite the public to step into the shoes of a biologist, botanist or archaeologist exploring the traces and drifts of the Capitalocene.
